pilninggas Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 use gearingcommander.com to map specific combos and see if a different length of chain is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FJ was slightly high in revs and MPG at cruising speed. But with torque to burn on the tank I went up 1 tooth on the front. The improvement was very noticeable. Did not need to change from the standard chain. Edited April 11, 2019 by DutchFJ1200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.E. faster acceleration but slower top speed, or slower take off from lights but higher top speed. The best thing to do is leave it to the manufactures specs. Believe me, they know best.
